We never thought we could get one this cheap. The Meizu M8 for only 199 euros? The original iPhone clone and erstwhile iPhone killer for only $295 unlocked. Why, that’s at least $100 cheaper than the original price. This is the same 3.2-inch touchscreen phone with a 720 x 480 screen resolution. The same Meizu [...]

What you’re looking at folks is the Sony Ericsson Kurara, the company’s second Symbian powered handset following the Satio. It doesn’t come with a 12-megapixel camera but surely won’t disappoint with its 8.1-megapixel camera, 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, and 720p video recording and playback. The Kurara also features a Cortex A8 processor (yup, that’s the same type [...]

Following its release in the US, the BlackBerry Storm 9550 aka BlackBerry Storm 2 has just crossed the Northern border and is now also available in Canada via Telus.

Verizon’s iDon’t commerical was not about the Motorola Droid after all. It has always been about iPhone–specifically, iPhone on the AT&T network, as we clearly see in the wireless giant’s new commercials. They’ve added several more anti-iPhone and anti-AT&T ads to complement the iDon’t commercial. And AT&T is suing them for misrepresenting their network coverage:
